Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
- 1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk (almond, cashew, or dairy milk)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, mini chocolate chips, protein powder, and kosher salt until evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Divide the mixture evenly into 4 jars or bowls, cover, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats well. Enjoy cold straight from the fridge or warm in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute as desired.
Notes
- Use gluten-free oats if you need a gluten-free option.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy milk.
- Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to swap peanut butter for almond or any other nut butter.
